Insurance Notes on 1901 Company Profits and Rate Increases
A condensed 1902 discussion challenges a Madison Georgia reader’s claim that US insurance firms made large profits in 1901. It breaks down premium income, losses, and expenses, notes reinsurance reserves, and argues rate hikes reflect underwriting deficits. Statements reference Equitable News, Georgia agents, and Grady Hospital praise.

The account describes passengers eating from tiny earthen pots with tea, rice, pickles, and cake aboard a train, while porters sweep refuse and a uniformed boy brushes doors at each stop.
